Return & online order policy

Online order cancellation policy

If you need to cancel your order and it is still processing, please use the website chat or email campusstore@mtroyal.ca so we can assist you with the cancellation. Once orders are ready for pick up or are marked as shipped, they cannot be cancelled. You will need to pick up your order and return it in-store. eBook orders cannot be cancelled and are final sale once purchased. Please see our return policies below for more information.

 

Shipping refund policy

Orders placed online for delivery are subject to a shipping fee. All shipping fees are non-refundable, even if you return your order. If there is a problem with an order that has been shipped to you, please reach out using the website chat, or email campusstore@mtroyal.ca so we can help resolve it.

 

Packaging fee refund policy

Orders placed online for in-store pick up are subject to a packaging fee. All packaging fees are non-refundable, even if you return your order. If there is a problem with an order that you have picked up, please visit us in-store, reach out using the website chat, or email campusstore@mtroyal.ca so we can help resolve it.

 

Abandoned order policy

We want to give everyone the opportunity to purchase our items. To make this possible, we are only able to hold online orders in store for 3 months after they are marked ready for pick up. After 3 months, orders will be considered abandoned and will be forfeited. They will not be refunded.

Non-textbook items, such as clothing, stationery, and gift items, are final sale 14 days after your order is ready for pick up. Due to vendor requirements, online orders for textbooks are final sale after the add/drop date for the semester, regardless of whether or not they have been picked up. The return policy for Continuing Education textbooks and course materials may differ. Please view the “Continuing Education textbook and course material return policy” section below for more details.

 

General book return policy

Books which are not for a course have a return policy of 14 days. Books which are marked as final sale or clearance are considered final sale at the time of purchase.

 

Textbook and course material return policy

We understand that sometimes you need to return a textbook. To avoid disappointment, we want to make you aware of our return policy.

Please see the “Continuing Education textbook and course material return policy” section below.
